Delicata squash, an heirloom variety that’s become super popular over the past decade, has a lot of perks: Not only is it easy to chop but the thin skin is edible and the vegetable is small enough to serve one person.

F&W's new Seasonal Muse series highlights a different ingredient obsession each month. For October, we chose squash and chefs around the country posted their best new squash dishes on Instagram using the hashtag #FWmuse.

Chicago's Stephanie Izard (@stephandthegoat) shared a vibrant shot of squash with mushrooms (left). Philly's @pizzeriavetri, from Best New Chef 1999 Marc Vetri, showed us a fantastic pizza topped with oven-roasted butternut squash, ricotta and crispy sage. Chris Cosentino (@offalchris) is stuffing kabocha squash with oxtail in a new dish for two at Incanto in San Francisco. Matt Jennings (@matthewjennings) at Farmstead Inc in Providence created an heirloom squash salad with crispy ham. At @taldebrooklyn, "Samosas are back!!!" and chef Dale Talde is doing a filling of butternut squash. At Lincoln in New York, @jonathanbenno is turning out some tasty tortelloni di zucca with local cheese pumpkin. Marcus Samuelsson (@marcuscooks) previewed some roasted butternut squash. Downtown, @uncleboons's #thaifall includes kabocha squash noodles. And Tom Colicchio's New York restaurants—Colicchio & Sons (@colicchio_sons) in Manhattan and Topping Rose House (@toppingrose) in Bridgehampton—are both celebrating squash.

You can take part in Seasonal Muse, too. This November, we're focusing on apples. So post all your best apple dishes and apple inspiration on Instagram with the hashtag #FWmuse and our handle @foodandwinemag.

This week's Vintage Visual dates back to 1908 and features vendors selling squash and other vegetables at Richmond, Virginia's Sixth Street market. The selection is inspired by October's #FWMuse: squash. Show us your squash-spiration on Twitter and Instagram by using #FWMuse for squash pics (raw or cooked) or squash-hued scenes you've spotted in the world. Your photo might get featured on foodandwine.com.
